Hefei.

Li Jian supported the 30,000 Black Cloud Army, but he stayed in the rear, he was self-aware, he knew that his martial arts were not proficient, and when he arrived at the front line, he became a burden to the soldiers.

Talking on paper and being in the battle are two different things.

"Sir, can you conquer the mustache this time?" Li Jian asked Xiang Huanyi.

"Jiangdong is already a candle in the wind, and the wet beard will definitely not be able to hold it." Huan Yi arched.

"Now that Huan Wen's 70,000 army is heading north, I am afraid that the two generals Liang and Deng will be difficult to match."

"The rabble that Huan Wen hastily gathered, how could they be the enemies of the Black Cloud Elite? Your Highness doesn't have to worry, the two generals Liang and Deng are both veterans of a hundred battles, and the eight thousand elites hit Huan Wen hard. ”

"What the gentleman said is very true."

Li Jian listened to Li Yue's words, did not indiscriminately interfere with the front-line soldiers' operations, and was only responsible for logistics and transportation in the rear.

The essence of war is economic.

In the past two months, Li Jian has a clearer understanding of the attrition of a big war.

In the past, he followed Chang Wei and Wang Meng to assist, but this time he was completely led by himself, and he made good arrangements, not only with sufficient food supply, but also mobilized winter clothes, medicines, cattle and sheep, so that the front-line soldiers could eat a bite of meat.

The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.

Li Jian always remembered Li Yue's teachings.

"Your Highness, General Liang Xiao has a performance!" Liu Ying entered.

"Oh?" Li Jian's expression moved, and after reading it, he knew that it was the secret letter of the Jiangdong Navy Governor Zhu Yao, saying that he was favored by Jin in his life, and Huan Wen usurped the Jin family, which was despised by people, and he was willing to surrender to Daliang and lead the Liang army to break the enemy in order to avenge the revenge of the Sima clan.

With such a big matter, Liang Xiao couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he played it to Li Jian.

Li Jian handed the letter to Huan Yi, and after Huan Yi read it, he first asked, "What does Your Highness think?" ”

The Liang army stormed Misu for more than two months, and Misu stood firm.

If you can win this city, Jiankang will be close at hand.

Li Jian knew very well that Li Yue's intention to let him preside over the Eastern Front, if he had the military merits of breaking Jiangdong, no matter which brother would be able to compete with him in the future, the prince's position would be unprecedentedly stable.

"Hmph, isn't Huan Wen bullying me like a three-year-old child? This kind of deception and reduction plan, Dongwu uses it again and again, and is not afraid of the jokes of the world! Although Li Jian's martial arts are commonplace, the art of war was taught by Li Yue himself.

Later, he followed Wang Mengdu Zhenguanzhong for two years.

The timing of this surrender was not right, it was not surrendered sooner or later, but it surrendered after intensifying the offensive against the beard.

It's clearly ill-intentioned.

Huan Yi said with a smile: "Hahaha, what His Highness said is very true, now the Yangtze River defense line has been broken by His Majesty, Huan Wen did not dare to fight with His Majesty, so he came to meet His Highness, if he can break the army of Huainan, he can bring a great victory and resist His Majesty." ”

Li Jian paced a few steps, "Huan Wen bullied my three-year-old child, and Lone can also bully him and lure the enemy deeper!" ”

Soldiers, treacherous ways.

Huan Yi shook his head, "Our army is attacking Jiangdong on two roads, it is bound to win, there is no need to take risks, there are more than 100,000 troops on the east road, and you can win every step of the way, but all tricks are self-defeating." ”

The hundreds of thousands of troops on the East Road were originally suppressed, not seeking to break the enemy, but seeking the word "stability".

As for the attack, look to the west and the sea.

Huan Yi didn't want the prince to take the slightest risk, he also knew that there were people in the clan who were eyeing the crown prince's position, but they had been pressed by the emperor, and the battle for the heir had not begun.

The crown prince is not an emperor, so he is naturally standing on the cusp.

Once the southern expedition fails, even if there is an emperor on it, the position of the crown prince will be unstable.

In the future, when he ascends the throne, it will become a reason for other princes to raise troops.

Defeat on the battlefield is the most lethal in this era, and Huan Wen is a living example.

"Sir...... Old Cheng Mou Country. Li Jian and Li Yue have one thing in common, they can listen to the advice of others.

Liu Yingdao: "If Zhu Yao sincerely surrenders, what should he do?" Now that the defense line of the Yangtze River has been broken, the general trend of Jiangdong has gone, and the surrender of the beam is the general trend. ”

With the water army in Zhu Yao's hands, not only will the wet beard be broken, but Jiankang has also lost his last support.

It has to be said that this is a great temptation.

Li Jian said with a smile: "This matter is easy, if Zhu Yao is sincere in surrendering, he can be ordered to attack Huan Wen first, and if it is successful, it will be true, and if it is not, it will be false." ”

"Your Highness's brilliant plan." Liu Ying gave up.

Outside the city, the world has long been turned upside down.

Dense antlers, moats, and earthen ramparts lay across the north of the city.

However, the city is a water mouth, with a large river in the south and a water in the east, so it can be supported by the Jiangdong naval army at any time.

After two months of siege, the city still stands.

On the boat, Huan Wen looked at the railing, tore Li Jian's reply to pieces, and threw it into the river, and the people around him all looked sad.

"The Liang thief has broken through Chaisang, and he will arrive in Misu soon!" Zhu Yao was promoted by Huan Wen from the ranks, and with the grace of knowing the situation, it was impossible to betray Huan Wen.

"The only chance for our army is the prince of Liang State!" Yuan Hongdao.

Huan Wen's gaze turned to Xi Chao.

"The two armies in the east and north are all upstream, and Jiankang is suffering from the enemy on his back, according to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to move the capital." Xi Chao's advice is always challenging Huan Wen's bottom line.

"Move the capital?" The expressions of the people around him moved.

In the Yongjia Rebellion, the scholars came to a well-dressed southward crossing.

Now that Liang Guo has entered the Kou, the momentum is like a bamboo, and it is obvious that Jiankang can't hold it.

It's not impossible to have another well-dressed southern crossing.

"The Liang army is all northerners, not accustomed to the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River, the vast place, the epidemic is full of diseases, can be induced to go deeper, once the epidemic breaks out, and then come back, it is still unknown." This was the only feasible method that Xi Chao could think of.

The enemy army has a new type of catapult and has broken through the defense line of the Yangtze River, and Jiankang will definitely not be able to hold it.

But Xi Chao only considered it militarily.

Today's Huan Wen is not a general, but the emperor of Chu.

Less than half a year after taking office, he came to the south again, what do the scholars think of him? What do the soldiers think of him?

There was an easier option for the nobles, and that was to surrender outright.

Moreover, Huan Wen was defeated again and again in the military, and he didn't even dare to fight in this battle, and the Chu soldiers under his command would abandon him.

"It is absolutely impossible to move the capital, there are still 100,000 soldiers under my command, enough to fight." Huan Wen said in a deep voice.

Even if he escaped safely to Jiaoguang, he would just wait for death.

Rather than die in humiliation in the southern wilderness, Huan Wen would rather die on the battlefield.

In fact, after the loss of Xiangyang, Huan Wen had already come to his senses, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to ascend the throne.

"Your Majesty has the heart to fight to the death, and there is still a three-point chance of winning." Xi Chao sighed in his heart, and looked to the northwest, as if returning to many years ago, that distant afternoon, on the Ba Shui, if Huan Wen had this determination, maybe the current world would have been a different scene.

If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it!

It's all just a cocoon.

"Oh? Three points are enough! Huan Wen patted the railing of the boat, and his mind also returned to the bashang many years ago.

It was his first Northern Expedition, and the closest he came to success......
